A Terrible Surgical Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleueland (Ohio) Press, of
February 23d, 1888, published an
account of a fatal surgical opera
ton which caused a great COM
motion among medical men
throughout the whole country,
DR., Thayer, the most eminent sur
geon in Cleveland, pronouncing
it scandalous. 1t appears that a
Mrs. King had been suffering for
many years from some disease OF
the stomach, which had resisted
the treatment of all the physic-
ians in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight derange-
ment of the digestion, with a poor
appetite, followed by a peculiar
indescribable distress in the stom-
ach, a feeling that has been de-
scribed as a faint " all gone" SEN
sation, a sticky slime collecting
about the teeth, causing a disa-
greeable taste. This sensation
was not removed by food, but,
on the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and feet
became cold and sticky-a cold
perspiration. There was a con-
slant tired and languid feeling.
Then followed a dreadful nerv-
BUSINESS, with gloomy forebod-
ings. Finally the patient was
unable to retain any food what
ever, and there was constant
pain in the abdomen. All pre-.
scribed remedies failing to give
relief, a consultation was held,
when it was decided that the
patient had a cancer in the stom-
ach, and in order to save the
patients life an operation was
justifable. Accordingly, on the
22d of February, 1883, the OPP
GRAFTON was performed by y DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR.
Tuckerman, DIR. Perrier, DR.
Arms, DIR. Gordon, DR.. Capner.
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consisted
in laying open the cavity of the
abdomen and exposing the stom-
ach and bowels. When this had
been done an examination of the
organs was made, but to the hor-
ror and dlsmay OF the doctors
there was no cancer to be found.
The patient did not have a can
GER. When too late the medical
men discovered that they had
made a terrible mistake but
they sewed the parts together
and dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in few hours. How sad it must
be for the husband of this poor
woman to know that his wife
died from the effects of sur
gical operation that ought never
to have been performed. If this
woman had taken the proper
remedy for Dyspepsia and Ner-
vous Prostitution (for this was
what the disease really was, she
would have been living to-day,
SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, OR
SEIGEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, a rem
edy made expressly for Dyspep-
STA or Indigestion, has restored
many such cases to perfect health
after all other kinds of treatment
have failed. The evidence Of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

THE Philadelphia Times says
Pennsylvania is in great need of q
new Capitol building. The present
crazy.quilt patchwork structure is not
only inadequate to the needs of the
government, but it is disgrace to
State that is great Empire within
itself. 1t would be better for the
State if the capitol could be removed
to Philadelphia, but the country
doesn't ia ke kindly to such q change,
and when the rural districts get on
their ear they don't get left in their
effort to boss such jobs.
The location of the Capitol at Har-
risburg may be accepted as permanent,
and its central position, as well as its
wonderful industrial growth, justify
the distinction it enjoys as the custo-
dian of the State authorities. There
is therefore, no reason, to higgle over
the erection of a new Capitol at Har-
risburg, and it should be made in ev-
cry way worthy of the grandest Com
monwealth of the Union.
The people have just pride in their
great State, and they will be glad to
see a Capitol building that reflects
their own might and progress. Let
the bill for the new Capitol be passed.
Pennsy lvania needs it, and her people
want it. Being right, go ahead !

Mrs. Logan's Grief.
Her Friends Seriously Alarmed

WASHINGTON, March IL. - The
friends of Mrs. Logan are in great dis
tress concerning her health. After he L
husbands funeral she seemed to yield

of body and mind which the Generals
affairs and illness had brought about

ment and unrest. She passed days ne
moaning the untimely death of the
General and upbraidlng herself for

and treatment.
1t was supposed that IL few weeks
would lesson the piognancy of her dis
tress. Her visit to Chicago was hasten
ed in order to give her change of
scene, which might turn her thoughts
away from proving thought of her be-
reavement. The physicians admit that
if she cannot arouse herself from the
nervous proStration and general de-
Spondency which has taken possession
of her naturally sangune temperament
very serious consequences may be an.
ticipated. 1t is hoped, upon her return
here, that the kindness of friends and
